O.P. 100% CPU
Why is it that since I installed Plus! when ever I loadup MSN all of the sudden my CPU resource shoots up 100% and I have no choice but to rebbot? I uninstalled both MSN and Plus! with all registry files revmoced, etc and reinstalled MSN 7 and it STILL make smy CPU go up to 100%.

RE: 100% CPU
Which process is it that is taking up 100% of the CPU? If you click the Processes tab in Task Manager what process does it show using 99%?

This may help your problem;
Go to the Main MSN Messenger Window > Plus > Preferences > [Image: 18wv1.jpg] > Then at the bottom look for a small label for Messenger attach mode, click the triangle next to it, and select Alternate mode from the list so it looks like the below;

After doing that, reboot your computer. Please do not skip this step.
Does the problem still occur?

You can do this, without signing into MSN Messenger. As long as MSN Messenger is open.
Unless this problem happens when MSN is just open and you are offline. I need more infomation, for example, does this problem happen if you uninstall Messenger Plus.
For that matter, have you tried uninstalling MSN Messenger and Messenger Plus and reinstalling both?

I've tried a fresh reinstall of both, cleaned registry files and other temp files they left behind. Still no joy.

Well start MSN, and choose to sort it by CPU usage and check what is using most of it. If something is hogging alot, list it.

Also sort the colums by memory usage and write what is using the most memory.

While you have msn messenger 7 open press this keys together:

Ctrl + Alt + Del --> then the task manager will open.

Then click on the tab "Processes" if you look carefully report back here with the one thats using up the most of your CPU, to find this easier then click once on the CPU tab and it will order it from the highest to the lowest usage :)
